1. One of the most vile and corrupt creatures in this administration.

[Larrybanal]

2. wow the swamp is flooding

I can't believe these guys think that saying this is OK because it apparently is their model for good government and they don't see a problem?

[dalton99a]

3. Shocking.

[WhiteTara]

4. Was there a deep inbreath? or wild applause?

[marylandblue]

5. There was the scritch scratch of pens writing checks

[WhiteTara]

7. Ain't that the damn truth. nt

[niyad]

6. he also said he doesn't feel like the public should be able to comment, or see, the cfpb pages.

and basically said the bankers and lobbyists need to fork over money so he can protect them.

fucking, greedy scum.

[infullview]

14. So Mulvaney is running a protection racket?

[niyad]

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Don't we have bribery laws anymore?

[Frustratedlady]

10. We all are paying your salary/benefits, idiot. Consider that when you speak out.

However, you can skip one of "us" as I have no desire to speak with you. You are a greedy, arrogant dork and I don't waste my time speaking with those.

Grow up!

[Fritz Walter]

11. There's a word for people like him: whore

A back-stabbing, deceitful one at that!

[TNNurse]

13. I agree, he admitted it.

[Initech]

12. They are literally doing everything they accuse the Dems of doing!

This shit should not be allowed to stand!

[OMGWTF]

15. It's Always Projection with the Rethuglicans. Always.

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. This infuriating weasel doesn't get talked about nearly enough.

He is easily as bad as all but the very worst, but I never hear him being called out. Perhaps he wisely keeps a low profile.

[Scurrilous]

17. K&R

[MyOwnPeace]

18. And...........

what does that say about our electorates - our "system" - our "checks and balances" - when they can walk out there and admit that they are bought?

We knew it - we've known it - and haven't done a damned thing about it!! They are running crazy because we are letting them!

[democratisphere]

19. Mulvaney is corruption in it's purest form.

This ass needs to be thrown out immediately, then indicted on bribery charges. Total in your scum.

[Ilsa]

20. Mulvaney is one of trump's alligators.

[apkhgp]

21. The Right Wing wanted 45 in office so badly

This is what they get for their votes.

[Midnight Writer]

22. Tom DeLay (R_TX), as de facto Speaker of the House, said the same thing.

He said he kept a book listing contributions on his desk, and if anyone came to meet with him, he asked them to show their name in his book. If they couldn't show him, he told them to come back when they could.

DeLay was also a pioneer of the phony "charity" scam. He would set up a charity with a noble cause, then put his family and staff as administrators of the funds, at hefty salaries, of course. He would meet with lobbyists, and then pitch his charity before getting down to "business".

23. What use to be called Shaming, is now Boasting n/t

[Cartaphelius]

24. If you had cash.

A totally self-generated rumor completing the only possible conclusion, based Mr. Mulvaney's statement.

Rumor has it that the third line of Mr. Mulvaney's was somehow excluded at the behest of Devin Nunes. It is rumored to read;


"And If you had cash, my door is always open."

[trof]

25. Why would you say that out loud?

OK, sure, we know it's true, but have things gotten to the point where you don't even need to deny it any more?
damn
Chutzpah out the ying-yang.

[JohnnyRingo]

26. I thought at first this was something he said long ago.

But no, he's literally advertising for bids from lenders to write policy to screw over consumers. That's the exact opposite of what the department was founded to do.

The exact fucking opposite.

[BigmanPigman]

27. Elizabeth Warren just responded to this on MSNBC

and said that , "This is the most corrupt admin EVER". I doubt anyone would argue with that.

[Mc Mike]

28. Dopey, crooked, and nazi is no way to go through life, son.

[47of74]

29. Child abusers will be so glad when he arrives in prison

Finally there’ll be someone there who is lower in the heirarchy than they are.

[catchnrelease]

30. Separated at birth

Every time I see Mulvaney I think of this guy---

[Rhiannon12866]

31. It's tough to pick "the worst of the worst" from this bunch

But I cringe whenever I see this guy...

[marble falls]

32. He has to pay off his crushing student debt somehow.

[Nitram]

33. This makes me sick.
